In October, 1962, President Kennedy addressed the nation telling Americans that Russia had started installing ballistic missiles in Cuba. President Kennedy demanded that the Cuban missiles be removed http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j0MUbVQl9Ns .
Soviet Premier Nikita Khrushchev “blinked” and agreed to remove all missiles as demanded by President Kennedy.
President Carter pardoned draft dodgers of the Vietnam War. President Carter delivered an energy policy which led to oil and gas shortages, and long waits at the gasoline pumps. President Carter stopped the B-1 bomber program. President gave away the Panama Canal. President Carter signed a Social Security legislation promising to keep Social Security solvent until 2030. Muslim Ayatollah Khomeini took control of Iran by ousting the Shah of Iran. In November, 1979, Iranian militants overran our U.S. Enbassy in Tehran and held sixty-six American hostages for four hundred forty-four days. In April 1980, President Carter failed in an effort to rescue the sixty-six American hostages. President provided a $118 million aid package to Nicaragua’s new Communist’s leader, Daniel Ortega.
President Carter’s one Presidential four-year term was founded on many failures and one major victory; an agreement between the nations of Egypt and Israel.
Immediately following President Reagan’s inauguration in January, 1981, all Amerian hostages in Iran were released.
Candidate Ronald Reagan was vocal in criticizing almost all of President Carter’s economic, social, and national security plans. President Reagan’s loudest destain was President Carter’s proposed Strategic Arms Limitation Talks (SALT) agreement.
President Reagan’s plan was to change policy from “arms limitation” to “arms reduction”. President Reagan signed Strategic Arms Reduction Treaty (START), reducing ballistic missiles with multiple warheads by up to 50%.
In June 1987, President Reagan called on Soviet Premier Mikail Gorbachev to "Tear Down This Wall", a wall that had been separating the City of Berlin since 1961 between Communist East and the free West in an effort to prevent many Germans departing Communist Germany and entering free Germany http://www.historyplace.com/speeches/reagan-tear-down.htm.
Soviet Premier Leonid Brezhnev “blinked” on the original START and tore down the Berlin Wall in November, 1989.
In this early December, 2010, we recieve a report that Russia has provided Venezuela with 1,800 anti-aircraft missiles http://hotair.com/archives/2010/12/12/venezuela-acquired-1800-antiaircraft-missiles-from-russia-last-year/ . President Obama makes no demands to stop Russia from providing weaponry to Venezuela or any other terrorist-supporting nations.
Within a few days, the U.S. Senate started debating a new START Treaty as proposed by President Obama. A few days later, we get a report from the Wall Street Journal, “Russia Warns Against START Changes” http://online.wsj.com/article/SB10001424052748703886904576032003686144640.html?mod=googlenews_wsj.
President Obama promised to fully develop a U.S. missile defense system in Europe http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2010/12/18/AR2010121802999.html. Will President Barack Obama follow through on the promises he made to the Senate to fully develop a U.S. missile defense system in Europe http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2010/12/18/AR2010121802999.html? In 2008, as candidate Obama, he promised a liberal pacifist group, Caucus 4 Priorities, for major cuts in defense spending, slow or suspend future combat systems, abolish spending weapons of space, and slash our ballistic missile defense system http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7o84PE871BE. What has President Obama promised Americans on any issue that he has not reversed his position on?
President Obama, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, all U.S. Senate Democrats, thirteen U.S. Senate Republicans, and 2 Senate Independent Party members “blinked” on this U.S.-Russia START Treaty.
From Newmax.com: “Retired Army Maj. Gen. John Singlaub tells Newsmax that the START weapons limitation pact would weaken the United States and President Barack Obama and that the Democrats are trying to “sneak” it through a lame-duck session of Congress”. http://www.newsmax.com/InsideCover/singlaub-start-america-russia/2010/12/20/id/380536?s=al&promo_code=B572-1.
From WorldNetDaily: "The Russians have snookered the Obama administration," Kwapisz told WND, "They got virtually everything they wanted but gave up nothing of importance to us on verification, missile defenses and their advantage in tactical nuclear weapons." http://www.wnd.com/index.php?fa=PAGE.view&pageId=243041.
From the Heritage Foundation: “In the spring of 2009, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton handed Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov a plastic button that was supposed to read “reset” on both sides, once in English and once in Russian. But while the Obama Administration got the English part right, the State Department got the Russian word for “reset” wrong, instead emblazoning the button with the word “overload”.” http://blog.heritage.org/2010/12/22/morning-bell-merry-christmas-moscow.
On December 22, 2010, Vote Number 298 ratification of the U.S.-Russia START Treaty Doc. 111-5, the vote was “71 for”, “26 against” and with “3 Not Voting”.
All 56 Democrat Party Senators who voted on this legislation did support the “U.S.–Russia START Treaty”. Twenty-one Democrat Party Senators who voted in support of “U.S.–Russia START Treaty ” and are up for re-elections in 2012: Akaka-HI, Bingaman-NM, Brown-OH, Cantwell-WA, Cardin-MD, Carper-DE, Casey-PA, Conrad-ND, Feinstein-CA, Gillibrand-NY, Klobuchar-MN, Kohl-W, Manchin-WV, McCaskill-MO, Menendez-NJ, Nelson-FL, Nelson-NE, Stabenow-MI, Tester-MT, Webb-VA, Whitehouse-RI.

It must be noted that Republican Party Senators up for re-election in 2012: Brown, Corker, Lugar, and Snowe.
Both Independent Party Senators Lieberman-CT and Sanders-VT supported the “U.S.–Russia START Treaty”. Independent Party Senator Lieberman is up for re-election in 2012.

Gov. Perdue to appoint new Union County, N.C. District Attorney
By Oscar Y. Harward
GOP’s Union County District Attorney John Snyder has resigned his newly re-elected office to accept another position in the private sector.
Under N.C.G.S. 163 10. Any vacancy occurring in the office of district attorney for causes other than expiration of term shall be filled by appointment of the Governor…..
For many years, members of the N.C. Judiciary were all appointed or elected by partisan political elections. In the 1980’s, voters in N.C. started voting for Republican Party Judicial candidates in General Elections. With this developing change, the Democrat Party controlled General Assembly changed the law switching Judges to be voted on in non-partisan elections.
Judges are appointed and/or elected for Judgeships by politics. Each and every Judge has his/her own political views of the legal, political, and personal issues at hand. If Judges are to render judgments on the law and their legal, political, and personal beliefs, each should be allowed to express their legal, political, and personal views in partisan political elections?
In most other “vacant” elected political partisan offices in N.C., the respective Democrat or Republican Party Executive Committees recommend replacements to fill the “vacant” offices. District Attorneys’ offices continue to be voted on by political partisan elections. With that being said, Gov. Perdue should do the judicious thing and appoint another Republican Party member replacement of the local District Attorney.
Will Gov. Beverly Perdue decide to appoint Union County’s “vacant” District Attorney by Union County’s voters’ choice, or by another different Democrat Party partisan political selection?

Don’t ask, don’t tell repeal is now do ask, do tell
By Oscar Y. Harward
Capitol Hill’s majority Democrats with the assistance of some Republicans are again chipping away and attacking the Word of God, our Holy Bible. Homosexuality and lesbian activity is wrong in the Bible. It is wrong in society.
As recently as some forty to fifty years ago, homosexuality and lesbian activity was somewhat rare. In the recent Presidential terms under Bill Clinton and specifically Barack Obama, it appears that this unnatural activity seems to be somewhat of a qualification for political appointments.
Our nation and Constitution was founded on Judeo-Christian values more than two hundred thirty four (234) years ago. Many unashamed changes have become American law and tradition since 1963 when our Supreme Court of the United States (SCOTUS) removed our Bible teachings from public schools. Since that time, we are raising a third generation, some of whom now do not know or even hear the Biblical moral and historical importance of following the Holy Bible:
Leviticus 18:22 (KJV) 22: Thou shalt not lie with mankind, as with womankind: it is abomination.
Leviticus 20:13 (KJV) 13: If a man also lie with mankind, as he lieth with a woman, both of them have committed an abomination: they shall surely be put to death; their blood shall be upon them.
Romans 1:26-27 (KJV) 26: For this cause God gave them up unto vile affections: for even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature:
27: And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another; men with men working that which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves that recompence of their error which was meet.
Romans 1:26-28: (KJV) 26For this cause God gave them up unto vile affections: for even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature:
27: And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another; men with men working that which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves that recompence of their error which was meet.
May I suggest everyone to study the Federalist Papers http://www.foundingfathers.info/federalistpapers/ for review the association between our founding fathers’ Christian values and the teachings within our Holy Bible!
The recent condemnation of our Bible was when the U.S. Senate voted on the legislation, “Don't Ask, Don't Tell Repeal Act of 2010”, Vote Number 281, H.R. 2965, http://www.senate.gov/legislative/LIS/roll_call_lists/roll_call_vote_cfm.cfm?congress=111&session=2&vote=00281 by a vote ’65 for’ to ’31 against’ with ‘4 not voting’.
All fifty-five Democrat Party Senators who voted did vote for “Don't Ask, Don't Tell Repeal Act of 2010”. Fourteen Democrats who voted in support of “Don't Ask, Don't Tell Repeal” and are up for re-elections in 2012: Akaka (D-HI), Bingaman-NM, Brown-OH, Cantwell-WA, Cardin-MD, Carper-DE, Casey-PA, Conrad-ND, Feinstein-CA, Nelson (D-FL), Nelson (D-NE), Stabenow-MI, Tester (D-MT), Whitehouse-RI.
Thirty-one Republican Party Senators voted against “Don't Ask, Don't Tell Repeal”, while 8 Republican Party Senators voted for “Don't Ask, Don't Tell Repeal”: Bennett-UT, Brown-MA, Burr-NC, Collins-ME, Ensign-NV, Kirk-IL, Murkowski-AK, Snowe-ME, Voinovich-OH. It must be noted that Senators Brown and Snowe are up for re-election in 2012.
Both Independent Party Senators Lieberman-CT and Sanders-VT voted for “Don't Ask, Don't Tell Repeal”.
Homosexuality and lesbian activity with or without “Don’t ask, don’t tell” is wrong as described in the Holy Word. It is wrong in our culture. To promote the mixing of homosexuality and lesbian activity in the US Military or any other mix in society is generating a collapse in humanity.
I ask you to join me with Liberty counsel: http://www.lc.org/ to overturn “Don't Ask, Don't Tell” repeal.

Democrats Dream Act is an American criminal nightmare
By Oscar Y. Harward
Majority Democrat Party members in the U.S. Senate continue to press the issue of “amnesty” for “Illegal Immigrants”. What Senate Democrats call the “Dream Act” is more akin to an American criminal nightmare. Illegal immigrants are criminals, as they ascertain a fraudulent SS Card, fraudulent ID, fraudulent Driver Operator’s License, etc. With the fraudulent credentials, the “illegal immigrant” proceeds to visit employers for a job.
Our U.S. economy is in recession. Many are struggling to maintain their homes and their families. Granting “amnesty” for “illegal immigrants” creates more economic burdens on all, and specifically, the African-American communities. “Amnesty” for “illegal immigrants” will generate elevated unemployment in our minority communities. Americans support “legal immigration”. Americans oppose “illegal immigration”.
“Illegal immigrants” abuse our hospitals and other medical facilities, our Social Services, our public schools, etc., all at the expense of Americans taxpayers. These added costs prevent legal citizens from receiving adequate needs and services. The real issue in opposing “Illegal immigrants” is associated with the increasing criminal activity that is also entering America. Democrats should explain how their proposed “Dream Act” will disassociate criminal element “illegal immigrants” from criminal Islamic Muslin terrorists.
On December 14, 2010, a U.S. Border Patrol Officer was shot and murdered near the U.S. – Mexican border. Where is President Obama or Homeland Security Secretary, Janet Napolitano? Neither shows up on the crime scene? President Obama sends our US Military to fight in the Middle East and visits the assigned troops in the Middle East. Obama fails to send adequate U.S. Military troops to our U.S. – Mexican border or even visit the murder scene when Mexican cartels may be the murderers on American soil. Mexican cartels are gaining control of Americans’ properties. Law enforcement officers are dying without ample support from the Obama administration.
Under the present legislation, rather than requiring “illegal immigrants” to go through the current system to obtain citizenship, the Obama/Reid/Pelosi teams are attempting to legislate “amnesty citizenship” to “illegal immigrant” criminals.
According to current political polls, 65% of Americans are saying, “Seal the border”. President Obama, Harry Reid, Nancy Pelosi and other supporting Capitol Hill Democrats are blocking these calls instead of blocking the borders.
On December 18, 2010, Vote Number 278 for “S. Amendment 3 to H.R. 5281” of the Democrats’, “The Dream Act”, the US Senate failed a Cloture vote ‘55 for’ and ‘41 against’ with ‘4 not voting’. Cloture would require a vote of 60 or more “for Cloture” on “amnesty” for “illegal immigrants”. http://www.senate.gov/legislative/LIS/roll_call_lists/roll_call_vote_cfm.cfm?congress=111&session=2&vote=00278.
Fifty Democrat Party Senators voted “for Cloture”; and in support of “amnesty” for “illegal immigrants”. It must be noted that Fifteen Democrats who voted in support of “amnesty” for “illegal immigrants” and are up for re-elections in 2012 are: Bingaman-NM, Brown-OH, Cantwell-WA, Cardin-MD, Carper-DE, Casey-PA, Conrad-ND, Feinstein-CA, Gillibrand-NY, Klobuchar-MN, Kohl-WI, McCaskill-MO, Menendez-NJ Stabenow-MI, Webb-VA, Whitehouse-RI.
Thirty-six Republican Party Senators voted to “oppose Cloture”, and against “amnesty” for “illegal immigrants”, while 3 Republican Party Senators voted “for Cloture” and in support of “amnesty” for “illegal immigrants” (Bennett-UT, Lugar-IN, and Murkowski-AK). It must be noted that Senator Lugar is up for re-election in 2012.
Both Independent Party Senators Lieberman-CT and Sanders-VT voted “for Cloture”; and in support of “amnesty” for “illegal immigrants”.
When will President Obama, Harry Reid, Nancy Pelosi and other supporting Democrat members on Capitol Hill discontinue their plan to cram “amnesty” for “illegal immigration” down (y)our throats”? Americans continue to say “NO”. What Senate Democrats call the “Dream Act” is more akin to an American criminal nightmare.

Governor Perdue questions voters’ abilities
By Oscar Y. Harward
For the first time in more than one hundred years, Republicans won a majority in both branches of the N.C. Legislature. Now Governor Perdue is calling for changing the rules of the legislature in redistricting.
Governor Perdue, where was your voice on representation while serving in the N.C. legislature and/or as Lt. Governor? Your record shows that you supported the Democrat Party’s legislation on almost every turn. Did you “ever” question the sprawling and, perhaps otherwise, unconstitutional districts’ representation as drawn out by your own majority Democrat Party? Prior to your elected offices, can you present any evidence that you explored any spotlight on this topic?
In November 1972, Jim Holshouser became the first Republican Party nominee elected Governor of N.C. in more than one hundred years. One of the majority Democrat Party’s first legislative actions was to change the law prohibiting Gov. Holshouser from appointing a new N.C. State Board of Elections Executive Director.
Democrat Party nominee Jim Hunt was elected in 1976. The majority Democrat Party controlled legislature then reversed the previous law allowing Governor Hunt to reinstate political control of the Board of Elections. Gov. Hunt was the first governor allowed to become re-elected in 1980 under N.C. law.
In November 1984, Republican Party nominee Jim Martin was elected Governor of N.C. and then re-elected in 1988. One of the majority Democrat Party’s first legislative actions was to change the law prohibiting Gov. Martin from appointing a new N.C. State Board of Elections Executive Director. Eight years later, Democrat Party nominee, Jim Hunt was again elected N.C. Governor. The majority Democrat Party controlled legislature then, again, reversed the previous law allowing Governor Hunt to reinstate political control of the Board of Elections.
Governor Perdue, if it is your desire for being upfront on everything in politics, why do you not open “all” of your files for total scrutiny? The media has already revealed unethical and/or illegal activity concerning you and your campaign. Further investigations may prove that you, too, may be just as guilty of illegalities as (y)our immediate previously convicted felonious governor.
Governor Perdue, North Carolina’s citizens will establish that members of the 2011 General Assembly are qualified and capable legislators on redistricting members of the N.C. House, N.C. Senate, and U.S. House of Representatives. N.C. voters ordered a “change” in North Carolina. The end tallies represent the results.

Stop earmark legislation. Stop the spending.

“Stop the Spending” continues. There are many on Capitol Hill who refuse to hear the cry. Many Democrats with the support of President Obama continue in their effort to spend as they choose, regardless of the ear-piercing messages from Americas’ taxpayers.
On November 30, 2010, Vote Number 255 for “S. Amendment 4697 to S. 510” “To establish an earmark moratorium for fiscal years 2011, 2012, and 2013”, the US Senate defeated on a ‘39 for’ and ‘56 against’ legislation to establish a moratorium on earmarks for fiscal years 2011, 2012, and 2013.
Thirty-two Republican Senators voted for the moratorium on earmarks while 8 GOP members voted against the moratorium (Bennett-UT, Cochran-MS, Collins-ME, Inhofe-OK, Lugar-IN, Murkowski-AK, Shelby-AL, and Voinovich-OH). It must be noted that Senators Inhofe and Lugar are up for re-election in 2012.
Fifty of the fifty-seven Democrat Senators voted against the moratorium. Eighteen of these Democrats who voted against the moratorium who are up for 2012 elections: Akaka-HI, Bingaman-NM, Brown-OH, Cantwell-WA, Cardin-MD, Carper-DE, Casey-PA, Conrad-ND, Feinstein-CA, Gillibrand-NY, Klobuchar-MN, Kohl-WI, Manchin-WV, Nelson-NE, Stabenow-MI, Tester-MT, Webb-VA, Whitehouse-RI.
Both Independent Senators Lieberman-CT and Sanders-VT voted against the moratorium on earmarks. Some Republicans In Name Only (RINO) are courting Sen. Lieberman to change his political registration and join the GOP. Sen. Lieberman is a left-wing spending and pro-abortionist Liberal. He votes Conservative on U.S. Military operations only. Republicans need honorable men and women who support fiscal, social, and national security issues on all significant subjects defined in the GOP Platform.
The “big spenders” who voted against legislation to establish a moratorium on earmarks and are up for 2012 re-elections are Sen. Thad Cochran (R-MS) and Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-CA).
Many Americans expect members of the Democrat Party to continue with “tax and spend” policies as this is their process that has left Americans’ debt now reaching $14 trillion. When will all Americans demand that the Democrat Party stop “out-of-control” spending, including earmarks?
After the GOP voted against legislation to establish a moratorium on earmarks, many were shocked as the GOP elected Harold “Hal” Rogers (R-KY-5th.) as incoming Chairman of the House Appropriations Committee. Rep. Rogers received $248 million of earmarks from 2008 through 2010. Rep. Rogers did vote with the GOP to establish a moratorium on earmarks. We hope Rep. Rogers’ vote is an honorable contribution in controlling the Capitol Hill “out-of-control” spending.
Now the Capitol Hill Democrats have put together a 1,924 page $1.27 trillion catch-all bill to continue government operations after December 18, 2910. Based on the Washington Post, the legislation includes more than 6,000 earmarks totaling $8 billion. Is this an additional Obama/Reid/Pelosi Democrat Party team “cram down (y)our throat” orchestrated piece of legislation as practiced for the past 2 years regardless of (y)our needs and/or desires?
From Newsmax.com a small list of the wasteful spending includes:
Literal pork: Almost $350,000 is earmarked to study the management of swine waste in North Carolina.
$235,000 for the management of invasive weeds in Nevada.
$300,000 for the Polynesian Voyaging Society in Hawaii. Founded in 1973, the society sails a “voyaging” boat throughout the Pacific, studying how ancient Polynesian people settled far-flung lands.
Funds are devoted to a variety of agricultural needs, including research of maple syrup in Vermont, control of potato pests in Wisconsin, the development of virus-resistant grapes in Washington state, and peanut cultivation research in Alabama.
$80 million for states and Indian tribes to pay for preservation of Pacific salmon.
$13 million for clean-water initiatives in rural villages in Alaska.
$450,000 for the World Food Prize.
$500,000 for the Edward M. Kennedy Institute.
$200,000 to install solar panels at a food bank in Arizona.
Americans are demanding to stop the spending, reduce taxes, create jobs, and restore Constitutional freedoms. Legislators must do more than balance the current and future budgets. America must begin to pay off some $14 trillion debt. Americans also desire a return to Judeo-Christian values. When will those on Capitol Hill listen?

GOP Executive Committee must change RNC Chairmanship
By Oscar Y. Harward
Michael Steele should be rejected as a candidate for Chairman of the Republican National Committee by the National Executive Committee. Steele continues to mishandle the important management skills within the GOP. Steele opposes critical political issues within the RNC Platform as voted on by the Republican Party National Executive Committee.
To become a majority party, the Republican Party National Executive Committee must seek a more responsible supervisor on the fiscal, social, national defense, and other issues as clearly defined. The GOP Chairman must have a passion for these critical issues as the foundation of the Republican Party and the RNC Platform.
During the most recent 2 years, Michael Steele has revealed that he lacks the ability and/or knowledge to manage GOP expenditures on fiscal and moral issues and/or raise funds from so many whom, otherwise, would gladly financially support the Republican Party.
The Republican Party must have a responsible Chairman/Chairperson who lives and practices the values as confirmed by a GOP majority and within the GOP Platform.

Christianity is alive and well in Union County, NC
By Oscar Y. Harward
At 7:00 pm on December 6, 2010, Union County, NC Commissioners held their first meeting in the Union County, NC Government Center for the December assembly in even numbered years for swearing-in ceremonies for 3 newly elected Union County Commissioners. Christian values run deep in these 3 families. Union County’s residents and visitors witnessed one of the most respectful “Christian” expressions in local government of my entire lifetime as Union County Commissioners Jerry Simpson was sworn-in as new Chairman, Todd Johnson sworn-in as Vice Chairman, and Jonathan Thomas sworn-in as the third newly elected Commissioner.
Each newly elected Commissioner brought their own “old” family Bibles for the ceremonies. Jerry Simpson was sworn-in on a 1944 family Bible, Todd Johnson on an 1892 family Bible, and Jonathan Thomas on an 1891 family Bible. Each of the three new board members, in their remarks during “Commissioners’ Comments”, presented an illustration of their personal beliefs in good government and Judeo-Christian values. Government needs more fiscal and social values in government. As for many others and me in the audience, it was merely an evening of “Wow”!
After the commissioners’ meeting, Spiro’s Hilltop Bistro & Bar provided Hors D’oeuvres for all in attendance.
As our new Union County, NC Commissioners move along with the business of government, you will see a new majority and more receptive approach to the voters’ desires and needs. Union County, North Carolina, and many other locations all over our United States of America are in a state of recession. Many national, state, and local governments continue to spend excessively above their incoming revenues; thus creating deficit spending. Much of these spending habits are about to change, and must do so in order to survive financially. Many newly elected officials in Union County, North Carolina, and across America have heard the scream to “Stop the Spending”, and restore our Constitutional freedoms.
Again, thanks to each of you in your efforts to make 2010 a successful election year in restoring fiscal and social issues and our Constitutional freedoms for Union County, North Carolina, and the U.S.A.
God Bless America!

Capitol Hill Democrats just do not understand economics in a free society
By Oscar Y. Harward
Thank you Minority Leader Sen. Mitch McConnell (R-KY), for your intelligent input on the US Senate floor concerning the Capitol Hill Democrats’ leadership in preventing the extension of the G.W. Bush tax relief legislation. The Capitol Hill Democrats just don’t get it!
America’s cry in the November 2 election was to “stop the spending” and “create jobs, jobs, and more jobs”. These liberal Capitol Hill Democrats continue to spend more of (y)our tax revenues, then increase taxes on the very ones who have the abilities and that includes resources to create more jobs. Does Capitol Hill Democrats plan to find lower-income and middle-income persons to create new jobs and the expansion of existing jobs? Capitol Hill Democrats will give their all to Labor Unions and their leaders who destroy joys, but refuse to help the very ones who create jobs.
The Obama/Reid/Pelosi team continues with a totally failed economic plan as the Capitol Hill Democrats choose to persist on “taxing the rich”, rather than encouraging the enticement of creating more jobs. Their “scam” is to blame upper-income taxpayers for the Capitol Hill Democrats’ own failures. American workers want jobs so as they can go to work. Capitol Hill Democrats continue to weaken our economy with their destabilization approach.
How does tax relief assist would-be middle-income workers who do not have a job? All higher-income and middle-income taxpayers need tax relief. Capitol Hill Democrats just do not understand that higher-income taxpayers do create new jobs and expand existing jobs.
Capitol Hill Republicans are insisting that legislators continue the G.W. Bush tax cuts to all indefinitely. The tax relief is needed to encourage middle-income individuals and families to maintain their families, their homes, etc. Higher-income taxpayers need tax relief to invest in new businesses and expand existing businesses.
One percent of the higher-income taxpayers pay “38% of all taxes” collected. Ten percent of the higher-income taxpayers pay “70% of all taxes” collected by our government. 47% of all households in America owed no income taxes for 2009.
Are Capitol Hill Democrats legislating redistribution of America’s wealth by taxing the higher-income more and more rather than encouraging the higher-income taxpayers to invest in more and more jobs?
Some Capitol Hill Democrats suggested that Sen. McConnell is insulting their abilities. For whatever the Capitol Hill Democrats believe and/or practice, each and all should take a short class on “Economics 101” so as they may understand growing an economy in a free and open market.

G.W. Bush’s tax relief for all in a recovering economy
The issue of a fragile economy continues. President Obama and Capitol Hill Democrats just do not get it. A recovering economy compels new jobs, jobs, and more jobs. Will the Capitol Hill Democrats ever learn simple economics? Are the Capitol Hill Democrats so wrapped up in Socialism to even consider a free and open economy?
President Obama and majority Capitol Hill Democrats continue to demand that G.W. Bush’s tax cuts, if expanded, must go to middle income taxpayers while denying tax-relief to the upper-income taxpayers. Democrats are now suggesting that they will expand the tax cuts to all for one year.
America, Capitol Hill Democrats Plan is a political “trap” designed to never allow the GOP to offer tax relief to higher-income taxpayers. With their plan, Democrats would return to their older, disgraceful strategy that Republicans will only support the rich.
Leaders of the Republican Party on Capitol Hill are insisting legislators to continue the G.W. Bush tax cuts indefinitely. The tax relief is needed to encourage upper-income taxpayers to invest in new businesses.
The question is when and where do Capitol Hill Democrats propose for new jobs and the expansion of existing jobs going to come from? How many new jobs have you witnessed lower and middle income taxpayers create? What good is tax relief for lower and middle income taxpayers unless there are jobs? The answer is to provide tax relief for all so as the higher income taxpayers are willing to put up their resources in creating new jobs as well as expanding existing jobs.
Capitol Hill Democrats continue to force the issue to increase taxes on higher-income taxpayers. Capitol Hill Democrats’ plan is a manipulation of the facts. Higher-income taxpayers do create new jobs and expand existing jobs. Capitol Hill Democrats continue to doom an economic recovery by promising more and more to the poor when, in fact, America is nearing bankruptcy.
47% of all households in America owed no income taxes for 2009. Ten percent of the higher-income taxpayers pay 70% of all taxes collected by our government. One percent of the higher-income taxpayers pay 38% of all taxes collected. How much more does Capitol Hill Democrats believe they can continue to bleed upper-income taxpayers before the taxpayers decide to quit creating jobs and expanding existing jobs?
You may remember that in December 2009, President Obama invited CEO’s, some small business leaders, and many of his SEIU, AFL/CIO, and other labor union supporters in his Economic Growth Forum. President Obama failed to invite members of the Chamber of Commerce, National Federation of Independent Business, or other professional business associates. How many jobs came out of President Obama’s Economic Growth Forum?
Do Capitol Hill Democrats ever remember that raising taxes created jobs or helped out in expanding jobs? On the other hand, does any of the Capitol Hill Democrats neglect history of reduced taxes create new jobs, expand existing jobs, and expand more tax revenues?
America’s economy is based on a free and open economy. If you work harder and smarter than others are willing to, you may be able to acquire more income. Capitol Hill Democrats continue to punish those who work harder and smarter creating jobs and expanding jobs. What is Capitol Hill Democrats plan if and when upper-income taxpayers decide that enough is enough and decide to quit? Where will the jobs come from? When will Capitol Hill Democrats recognize that redistribution of wealth is an immoral decision for a free and open economy?

Medias failing “Freedom of Speech”
By Oscar Y. Harward
As we look at each individual state, congressional district, and/or even a community, and make an effort to evaluate as to why this referenced locale votes liberal, moderate, or conservative, it is imperative that we look at the bias and/or diverse presentations to the locales by the main-stream Medias of TV, radio, and print in the same areas.
In areas where the Medias present their stories with a liberal bias in a locale, you will find the voters responding accordingly. The moderate and/or conservative Medias also have a respective voting record in their locals accordingly.
However, wherever you find an area where the voting records continue to be more liberal, you will find liberal Medias of the area who will print and accept liberal editorial views while denying the printing of conservative editorial views on the identical issues in the matching areas. The liberal left-leaning editorial articles presented will be published over the more conservative-leaning editorial articles by a ratio of five to one or more. Additionally, liberal left-leaning editorial articles will be presented with a positive accent while more conservative-leaning editorial articles will be presented with a more negative tarnish.
A diverse presentation of the news means the “main stream” media must begin in practicing “Freedom of Speech” by reporting the truth, rather than liberal bias. Sometimes, it appears many in the liberal main-stream lack the abilities to acknowledge the truth without a liberal bias. Political polls show an overwhelming majority of Americans view journalists in the Medias and their presentations as liberal and left-wing accounts. Left-wing liberal versions in the Medias have led many American voters to change their own voting decision process in their selection viewpoints.
Communications are shifting in America and around the world. An “open and free” Internet is making dramatic modifications of peoples’ views. With a few strokes on a computer keyboard, any individual may communicate their personal thoughts to thousands, and even millions, of same-thinking individuals all over the globe. Any can share the same fiscal, social, and military values to and fro. With these findings on the Internet, Americans are uncovering they are not attached to a closed liberal view of singular thoughts.
Americans are discovering they can acquire a more open examination of the news from Fox News Channel. As a result, Fox News Channel’s audience is growing rapidly with more and more viewers realizing a “fair and balanced” version of the news, as opposed to other “biased liberal views of the news” offered by CNN, MSNBC, CNBC, and even many local news stations, etc.
Neilson’s data suggests’ that 14 years old Fox News Channel may now have more audience viewers on an average time frame than CNN, MSNBC, and CNBC combined. ABC, CBS, and NBC should adjust their reporting to a more “fair and balanced” presentation. Many editors and reporters fail to acknowledge the importance of reporting “free and honest” coverage on issues are most important components of our “Freedom of Speech”.
There is a coordination in today’s world combining partisan politics to higher education. As liberals are defeated in the electoral process, the defeated liberals are appointed as professors and/or other instructors in Universities and Colleges, teaching our children the same harmful and destructive political beliefs which the voters rejected. Many liberals in the Medias fail or refuse to recognize and/or accept opposing positions, when other conservative views may carry an equal or perhaps, a more productive view. For some liberals in the Medias, it is much easier to silence and/or disassociate/discard more Conservative, Christian, and/or old English common-sense views.
For liberal editors and reporters of the Media to reject opposing conservative viewpoints, are disallowing Americans the same “Freedom of Speech” they, themselves, otherwise pledge to practice. A large majority of Americans are seeking a “fair and balanced” presentation of the news. Those in the Medias who offer this approach will grow. Others will wither on the vine. And to our friends in the liberal Medias, think as Voltiare said, “Think for yourselves and let others enjoy the privilege to do so, too”.

Prevent criminal activity with amnesty to illegal immigrants

Capitol Hill Democrats have not completed their agenda in the 111th. Congress. After “cramming down our throats” several radical laws in the past 2 years, American voters responded by defeating many Democrat Party members in the Congress and Senate. The Obama/Reid/Pelosi team is winding down; however, the Democrats continue to press radical left-wing legislation for the last part of November and December, 2010.
The US Senate “lame-duck” session reopens on November 29, 2010. Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid has scheduled a vote on S. 3827; proposed legislation which, in my opinion, is a slight disguise to grant amnesty for illegal immigrants.
Illegal immigration is a foremost issue as more criminal activity is entering the USA, specifically, crossing into America from Mexico.
You may choose to contact (y)our US Senators by telephone, send E-mails, faxes, and/or visit the Senators’ offices encouraging each how important it is to vote “NO” on S. 3827.
Sen. Jeff Sessions (R-AL) has written an article concerning S.3827. These 10 items are jam-packed into short points of concern. The entire article with more comprehensive dialogue may be read at the following “link”: http://cfif.org/v/index.php/commentary/58-immigration/821-ten-things-you-need-to-know-about-s3827-the-dream-act
1. The DREAM Act Is NOT Limited to Children, and It Will Be Funded On the Backs Of Hard Working, Law-Abiding Americans
2. The DREAM Act PROVIDES SAFE HARBOR FOR ANY ALIEN, Including Criminals, From Being Removed or Deported If They Simply Submit An Application
3. Certain Criminal Aliens Will Be Eligible For Amnesty Under The DREAM Act
4. Estimates Suggest That At Least 2.1 Million Illegal Aliens Will Be Eligible For the DREAM Act Amnesty. In Reality, We Have No Idea How Many Illegal Aliens Will Apply
5. Illegal Aliens Will Get In-State Tuition Benefits
6. The DREAM Act Does Not Require That An Illegal Alien Finish Any Type of Degree (Vocational, Two-Year, or Bachelor’s Degree) As A Condition of Amnesty
7. The DREAM Act does not require that an illegal alien serve in the military as a condition for amnesty, and There is ALREADY A Legal Process In Place For Illegal Aliens to Obtain U.S. Citizenship Through Military Service
8. Despite Their Current Illegal Status, DREAM Act Aliens Will Be Given All The Rights That Legal Immigrants Receive—Including The Legal Right To Sponsor Their Parents and Extended Family Members For Immigration
9. Current Illegal Aliens Will Get Federal Student Loans, Federal Work Study Programs, and Other Forms of Federal Financial Aid
10. DHS Is Prohibited From Using the Information Provided By Illegal Aliens Whose DREAM Act Amnesty Applications Are Denied To Initiate Their Removal Proceedings or Investigate or Prosecute Fraud in the Application Process

Radical Islamic Muslims crushing American Constitutional freedoms
By Oscar Y. Harward
Ronald Reagan said, "Our natural, inalienable rights are now considered to be a dispensation from government, and freedom has never been so fragile, so close to slipping from our grasp as it is at this moment." Ronald Reagan was exemplifying that inalienable rights are granted from God as defined in Judeo-Christian values and explicitly expressed by our founding fathers. This should not be confused by radical Islamic Muslims’ beliefs as defined in their Quran.
For histories, radical Islamic Muslims, in support of their Quran beliefs, have been at war with all Judeo-Christians around the world. The battles continue today with disputes of US Constitutional freedoms v. the Quran and Sharia Law. In expanding and intense battles, Islamic Muslims are pressing their beliefs upon America, Constitutional freedoms, and Judeo-Christian values. These transformations of radical Islamic Muslim replacement pursuits apply to many other nations of the free world.
Prior to the attack on US Marines in 1983, there was little fear of attacks on US Military armed forces’ facilities around the world. On Sunday, October 23, 1983, one homicidal Hezbollah radical Islamic Muslim, driving a truck loaded with 12,000 pounds of dynamite and drove his truck into a US Marines’ barrack in Beirut, Lebanon killing 241 Marines.
Up until 9/11/2001, Americans had little fear of getting into an airplane for business or pleasure. On September 11, radical Islamic Muslims flew 2 hijacked commercial airplanes into the New York City “twin towers” killing some 2,750 innocent Americans.
Radical Islamic Muslims flew one hijacked commercial airplane into the Pentagon killing 184 innocent Americans.
Radical Islamic Muslims flying 1 hijacked commercial airplane to an unknown destination crashed in Pennsylvania killing 40 innocent Americans. Most believe the target was the US Capitol, the White House, or perhaps, Camp David.
These illustrations are a few of many incidents with radicalism by Islamic Muslims common-day references. Radical Islamic Muslims are damaging and/or destroying America, our Constitutional freedoms, and our Judeo-Christian values.
Over the last 30 years of so, radicalism of Islamic Muslims are using our Constitution in the spread of more extremism.
The ACLU, in selling their agenda to provide individual freedoms, are continuously filing lawsuits against taxpayer-stripped federal, state, and local governments, Houses of Worship, Non-Profit organizations, etc. In many of these filed cases, the prosecuting ACLU is defeating the defendants due to their abilities to pay the legal cost in fighting the ACLU. Many of these cases are chipping away at Constitutional freedoms as intended by our founding fathers. These radical Muslims will kill any humans of Judeo-Christian values. The weapon of choice is becoming suicidal and/or homicidal bombings.
Flying in airplanes around the world has forced governments and airlines to use security in protecting public passengers and shipping of products. Full-body scanning machines and pat-down is now used as the most common used security.
Radical Islamic Muslims on September 11, 2001 did fly 2 hijacked commercial airplanes into the New York City “twin towers” killing some 2,750 innocent Americans, another into the Pentagon killing 184 innocent Americans, and a third hijacked and crashed airplane killing 40 innocent Americans. Islamic Muslims are now attempting to build an Islamic Muslim Mosque near “ground zero”. Even worse, they are seeking the taxpayers to support in funding the project.
Americans Constitutional freedoms are being crushed by radical Islamic Muslims and their criminal activity. Americans should not be penalized and/or forced to be seen by others on full-body scanning machines. American airline passengers should not be forced to tolerate full pat-down searches. American taxpayers should not be forced to pay for Radical Islamic Muslims’ criminal activity. Radical Islamic Muslim nations should be forced to pay the cost for their own peoples’ potential criminal actions by keeping Americans and the world’s other free-loving people secure.

Charlotte Airport Director Says He Wants the TSA Out
Published by Bane Windlow
http://www.carolinapoliticsonline.com/
CHARLOTTE, N.C. (WBTV) – The director of Charlotte Douglas International says he doesn’t think the TSA should be in charge of the airport’s security.
“I think they spend way too much money and I think it could be done a lot quicker, a lot better at a lot less expense,” said Jerry Orr.
Orr said he has always believed the airport’s police officers could do the job TSA agents do. He says he has been carefully following the backlash of the body scanners and thorough pat downs over the past several days.
To him, the complaints — especially flight attendant Cathy Bossi’s harrowing experience over being asked to removed her prosthetic breast — are nothing new. “With the amount we’ve spent with the technology that’s available that’s seems a lit overboard doesn’t it,” said Orr.
WBT
Charlotte-Douglas is now the second airport I am aware of that is considering throwing out TSA. Orlando is the other and San Francisco already uses a private contractor.
The TSA stories hitting the media are getting more and more horrific with each passing day. I think the worst one I’ve seen so far now is the experience of a Mr. Tom Sawyer, a bladder cancer survivor, who has to wear a urostomy bag. Despite his warning to the TSA security guard, who patted him down regarding his condition, the agent caused the bag to leak and Mr. Sawyer had to board the plane with his own urine splashed on him.
While the fascist director of TSA, John Pistole, insists they will not budge on the new intrusive procedures, I have a feeling his hand is going to be forced eventually. The backlash is building and I think the Congress is going to have no choice but to intervene.

Constitutional freedoms with profiling of suspects must be allowed
By Oscar Y. Harward
Homeland Security Agency (HSA) has issued newer rules for Transportation Security Administration (TSA) examinations of full-body scanning machines and pat-down that many say are too invasive. TSA’s full-body scanning machines will not show plastic bomb elements and most object to full pat-downs as too sexually abusive. Who wants anyone to fondle their private bodies? To discontinue all testing would trigger a total shut-down in airport travel that would further injure our US economy.
ACLU lawsuits, along with the SCOTUS have determined “profiling” is a form of discrimination. Now, “profiling” has turned the issue into a “national security” concern with an internal battle between our TSA security agents and flying passengers. Flying has become a “profiling” issue dealing primarily with Islamic Muslims’ terrorism. Men and women of Islamic Muslim communities around the world have become the primary suspects. Why are all other persons treated as the suspicious ones? Law enforcement professionals must be allowed to do their jobs, even by the use of “profiling”.
After 9/11, President G.W. Bush said Islam is a “Religion of Peace”. How wrong he was then! It is apparent President Bush realizes his faulty statement. America, and other nations around the world are constantly facing attacks from radical Islamic Muslims.
Frequently, President Obama says the “United States is not at war with the Islamic Muslim community, and never will be”. The facts may dispute Obama’s own words. President Obama should know better.
Senator Joseph Lieberman (I-CT) said, “The U.S. is at war with violent Islamist extremism, and the Obama administration does moderate Muslims no favor by refusing to recognize this.”
When you review the facts http://www.thereligionofpeace.com/Pages/AmericanAttacks.htm; as provided by “The Religion of Peace”, you will see that 3,098 Americans have died in 67 Islamic Muslims attacks since April, 1972. Furthermore, you may find at least 30 foiled attempts against the US since 9/11/01 http://creepingsharia.wordpress.com/2010/05/23/at-least-30-islamic-terror-plots-against-u-s-foiled-since-911-eleven-in-nyc-video/.
Islamic Muslims have been at war with America, Israel, and many other nations and/or persons who disagree with Islamic Muslin teachings.
Islamic Muslims’ ideals v. Judeo-Christian value wars did not start yesterday. There are writings of the 7th. century of Islamic Muslin wars against any other Judeo-Christians and/or countries of the world.
Winston Churchill (1874 -1965) http://www.islam-watch.org/AdrianMorgan/Winston-Churchill-Islamism.htm; has been known as one of the world’s most wise warrior statesman for his success against Germany’s Adolf Hitler and Fascism. Churchill joined the Fourth Hussars, a Calvary Regiment in the British Army, in 1895. After serving as a war correspondent while serving in now Pakistan bordering Afghanistan, he wrote a book, “The Story of the Malakand Field Force”.
Churchill’s named "Mad Mullah". Speaking of the Pathan and Beluchi tribesmen of the border regions, he noted with some sarcasm that “the Mullah will raise his voice and remind them of other days when the sons of the prophet drove the infidel from the plains of India, and ruled at Delhi, as wide an Empire as the Kafir holds to-day: when the true religion strode proudly through the earth and scorned to lie hidden and neglected among the hills: when mighty princes ruled in Bagdad, and all men knew that there was one God, and Mahomet was His prophet.”
Churchill wrote, “Civilization is confronted with militant Mahommedanism. The forces of progress clash with those of reaction. The religion of blood and war is face to face with that of peace. Luckily the religion of peace is usually the better armed”. Churchill continues, “Fanaticism is not a cause of war. It is the means which helps savage peoples to fight. It is the spirit which enables them to combine - the great common object before which all personal or tribal disputes become insignificant. What the horn is to the rhinoceros, what the sting is to the wasp, the Mohammedan faith was to the Arabs of the Soudan - a faculty of offence or defense”.
Dr. Michael Kessler, Assistant Director of the Berkley Center for Religion, Peace, and World Affairs and Visiting Assistant Professor of Government at Georgetown University says in his article, “Islam is not a religion. It is a violent political ideology of which religion is only one component and is based on its own set of laws that has no tolerance for non Muslims”.
Many Americans are outraged as many within the Islamic Muslim communities appear to be trying to replace our Holy Bible and Judeo-Christian values with the Quran and their Islamic Muslim militant beliefs. Terrorism within the radical Islamic Muslim communities around the world practice Sharia Law, an ideology which is strongly contrary to our Constitutional freedoms and Judeo-Christian values.
Constitutional freedoms with profiling of suspects must be allowed. The ACLU should repeal their earlier resolve on this issue. Crime prevention and early detection in law enforcement is one of their primary teachings in our society. “Profiling” at airports must be allowed in an effort for professional law enforcement to do what they do best, saving lives.

Engineering change to the Legislative, Judicial, and Public School Branches
By Chuck Sproull, Springville IN, 11/21/2010
On Friday Nov 19, I had the privilege of attending a lecture at IU by Dawn Johnson, Pres. Obama’s appointed head of the Department of Justice Office of Legal Counsel.. She had been serving as acting Assistant General of the DOJ OLC. Her four topics were Reproductive Liberties, Rule of Law, Torture Memos and DADT.
Reproductive Liberties is just another term for pro-choice and for irresponsible women to have unwanted children aborted. Now, anyone who understands the English language, and who knows that the group of killers of pre-born babies called Planned Parenthood (PP), is actually making the majority of their profits from selling unreliable birth control condoms and then abortions of resulting accidental, unwanted pregnancies; we can see that PP is actually preventing reproduction; and therefore Dawn’s topic should have been more honestly titled “Un-reproductive Liberties.” Likewise, honest people understand that the organization whose acronym is PP actually stands for Prevented Parenthood.
After her lecture I mentioned that I had just retired after 45 years with the US Navy. Even though I retired from the Department of Defense, I am still a soldier in God’s Army. I still love and feel very defensive of our Constitutional Republic and the culture of life (consisting of three processes - normal marriage, conception-birth, and education-maturity) that God gave us through the strong Bible-based convictions of our Founding Fathers. As a Sonar Technician and Oceanographer I love to see what’s going on under the surface, and as a Logistics Management Specialist I am meticulously analytical and familiar with the Systems Engineering. So I asked her to look at all these legal and political issues from a Systems Engineering point of view.
During the Systems Engineering process, from design to production of a new defense system or piece of equipment, the engineers love to design equipment they hope will be go through production and operate reliably in the field. If the new equipment experiences too many failures, they love to make engineering changes to replace low reliability parts with higher reliable parts to improve their overall reliability, resulting in higher quality performance. Too many failures puts an extra burden of expense on the maintenance of those systems.
I also mentioned that our legal and political systems and American tax-payers are burdened by issues like teen pregnancies, suicides, abortions and homosexual (so-called) marriages and “don’t ask don’t tell” in our military. (By the way, just as its impossible two male plugs or two female receptacles to “mate,” its impossible for two men or two women to “marry”).
Then I asked Dawn if she thought that (1) getting rid of pornography and condom distribution in our tax-payer-funded public schools, (2) parents teaching their children to appreciate all the physical and biological gender distinctions between male and female, (3) parents and teachers cooperating to teach youth self-discipline within decent Biblical moral standards and abstinence from intimacy until marriage, (4) teaching them by good example to appreciate the normal marriage concept, and (5) teaching women how to love their babies during the conception- to-birth process (real meaning of Planned Parenthood); would this relieve some of the legal burden off the shoulders of the DOJ?
If we would teach our youth high moral values so effectively they (1) wouldn’t even want to engage in abnormal marriage, (2) would not even want intimacy before or outside normal marriage, (3) would love their children so much they wouldn’t even want abortions, and (4) would voluntarily keep their families small enough to ensure all their members were cared for; would those ease the burden on the shoulders of our political and legal systems and tax-payers, and produce higher quality of life in our American culture? And would these make DOJ’s job easier? And she agreed.
So I suggest we make something like an engineering change to the Legislative, Judicial and Public School Branches of our tax-payer-funded government – in Nov 2011 vote out low reliability Senators and Representatives, and vote in new leaders who have demonstrated conservative values and appreciation for our Constitutional Republic. This would eventually raise the quality of life in America to where we could be a good example to the rest of the world (“city on a hill”) instead of letting them influence us, and put the tax-payer-funded Planned Parenthood abortion industry and Human Rights (wrongs) Campaign out of business.

This would eventually raise the quality of life in America to where we could be a good example to the rest of the world (“city on a hill”) instead of letting them influence us, and put the tax-payer-funded Planned Parenthood abortion industry and Human Rights (wrongs) Campaign out of business.
Ten Things You Need To Know About S.3827, The DREAM Act
BY SENATOR JEFF SESSIONS
THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 18 2010
HTTP://CFIF.ORG/V/INDEX.PHP/COMMENTARY/58-IMMIGRATION/821-TEN-THINGS-YOU-NEED-TO-KNOW-ABOUT-S3827-THE-DREAM-ACT
1. The DREAM Act Is NOT Limited to Children, And It Will Be Funded On the Backs Of Hard Working, Law-Abiding Americans
Proponents of the DREAM Act frequently claim the bill offers relief only to illegal alien “kids.” Incredibly, previous versions of the DREAM Act had no age limit at all, so illegal aliens of any age who satisfied the Act’s requirements—not just children—could obtain lawful permanent resident (LPR) status. In response to this criticism, S.3827 includes a requirement that aliens be under the age of 35 on the date of enactment to be eligible for LPR status. Even with this cap, many aliens would be at least 41 years old before obtaining full LPR status under the Act—hardly the “kids” the Act’s advocates keep talking about.
The DREAM Act requires that DHS/USCIS process all DREAM Act applications (applications that would require complex, multi-step adjudication) without being able to increase fees to handle processing. This mandate would require either additional Congressional appropriations, or for USCIS, a primarily fee-funded agency, to raise fees on other types of immigration benefit applications. This would unfairly spread the cost of administering the DREAM Act legalization program among applicants and petitioners who have abided by U.S. laws and force taxpayers to pay for amnesty. Taxpayers would also be on the hook for all Federal benefits the DREAM Act seeks to offer illegal aliens, including student loans and grants.
2. The DREAM Act PROVIDES SAFE HARBOR FOR ANY ALIEN, Including Criminals, From Being Removed or Deported If They Simply Submit An Application
Although DREAM Act proponents claim it will benefit only those who meet certain age, presence, and educational requirements, amazingly the Act protects ANY alien who simply submits an application for status no matter how frivolous. The bill forbids the Secretary of Homeland Security from removing “any alien who has a pending application for conditional status” under the DREAM Act—regardless of age or criminal record—providing a safe harbor for all illegal aliens. This loophole will open the floodgates for applications that could stay pending for many years or be litigated as a delay tactic to prevent the illegal aliens’ removal from the United States. The provision will further erode any chances of ending the rampant illegality and fraud in the existing system.
3. Certain Criminal Aliens Will Be Eligible For Amnesty
Under The DREAM Act Certain categories of criminal aliens will be eligible for the DREAM Act amnesty, including alien gang members and aliens with misdemeanor convictions, even DUIs. The DREAM Act allows illegal aliens guilty of the following offenses to be eligible for amnesty: alien absconders (aliens who failed to attend their removal proceedings), aliens who have engaged in voter fraud or unlawfully voted, aliens who have falsely claimed U.S. citizenship, aliens who have abused their student visas, and aliens who have committed marriage fraud. Additionally, illegal aliens who pose a public health risk, aliens who have been permanently barred from obtaining U.S. citizenship, and aliens who are likely to become a public charge are also eligible.
4. Estimates Suggest That At Least 2.1 Million Illegal Aliens Will Be Eligible For the DREAM Act Amnesty.In Reality, We Have No Idea How Many Illegal Aliens Will Apply
Section 4(d) of the DREAM Act waives all numerical limitations on green cards, and prohibits any numerical limitation on the number of aliens eligible for amnesty under its provisions. The Migration Policy Institute estimates that the DREAM Act will make approximately 2.1 million illegal aliens eligible for amnesty. It is highly likely that the number of illegal aliens receiving amnesty under the DREAM Act will be much higher than the estimated 2.1 million due to fraud and our inherent inability to accurately estimate the illegal alien population. Clearly, the message sent by the DREAM Act will be that if any young person can enter the country illegally, within 5 years, they will be placed on a path to citizenship.
5. Illegal Aliens Will Get In-State Tuition Benefits
The DREAM Act will allow illegal aliens to qualify for in-state tuition, even when it is not being offered to U.S. citizens and legally present aliens living just across state lines. Section 3 of the DREAM Act repeals Section 505 of the Illegal Immigration Reform and Immigrant Responsibility Act of 1996 (8 U.S.C. 1623) which prohibits giving education benefits to an unlawfully present individual unless that same benefit is offered to all U.S. citizens.
6. The DREAM Act Does Not Require That An Illegal Alien Finish Any Type of Degree (Vocational, Two-Year, or Bachelor’s Degree) As A Condition of Amnesty
DREAM Act supporters would have you believe that the bill is intended to benefit illegal immigrants who have graduated from high school and are on their way to earning college degrees. However, the bill is careful to ensure that illegal alien high school drop-outs will also be put on a pathway to citizenship – they simply have to get a GED and be admitted to “an institution of higher education,” defined by the Higher Education Act of 1965.
Under the Higher Education Act, an “institution of higher education” includes institutions that provide 2-year programs (community colleges) and any “school that provides not less than a 1-year program of training to prepare students for gainful employment” (a vocational school). Within 8 years of the initial grant of status, the alien must prove only that they finished 2 years of a bachelor’s degree program, not that they completed any program or earned any degree.
If the alien is unable to complete 2 years of college but can demonstrate that their removal would result in hardship to themselves or their U.S. citizen or LPR spouse, child, or parent, the education requirement can be waived altogether.
7. The DREAM Act does not require that an illegal alien serve in the military as a condition for amnesty, and There is ALREADY A Legal Process In Place For Illegal Aliens to Obtain U.S. Citizenship Through Military Service
DREAM Act supporters would have you believe that illegal aliens who don’t go to college will earn their citizenship through service in the U.S. Armed Forces. However, the bill does not require aliens to join the U.S. Armed Forces (the Army, Navy, Air Force, Marine Corps, or Coast Guard); instead it requires enlistment in the “uniformed services.” This means that aliens need only go to work for the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration or Public Health Service for 2 years to get U.S. citizenship. If the alien is unable to complete 2 years in the “uniformed services,” and can demonstrate that their removal would result in hardship to themselves or their U.S. citizen or LPR spouse, child, or parent, the military service requirement can be waived altogether. Such claims will likely engender much litigation and place a huge burden on DHS.
Furthermore, under current law (10 USC § 504), the Secretary of Defense can authorize the enlistment of illegal aliens. Once enlisted in the U.S. Armed Forces, under 8 USC § 1440, these illegal aliens can become naturalized citizens through expedited processing, often obtaining U.S. citizenship in six months.
8. Despite Their Current Illegal Status, DREAM Act Aliens Will Be Given All The Rights That Legal Immigrants Receive—Including The Legal Right To Sponsor Their Parents and Extended Family Members For Immigration
Under current federal law, U.S. citizens have the right to immigrate their “immediate relatives” to the U.S. without regard to numerical caps. Similarly, lawful permanent residents can immigrate their spouses and children to the U.S. as long as they retain their status. This means illegal aliens who receive amnesty under the DREAM Act will have the right to immigrate their family members—including the parents who sent for or brought them to the U.S. illegally in the first place—in unlimited numbers as soon as they become U.S. citizens (6 to 8 years after enactment) and are 21 years of age.
Additionally, amnestied aliens who become U.S. citizens will be able to petition for their adult siblings living abroad to immigrate to the U.S., further incentivizing chain migration and potentially illegal entry into the United States (for those who don’t want to wait for the petition process overseas). When an adult brother or sister receives a green card, the family (spouse and children) of the adult sibling receive green cards as well.
9. Current Illegal Aliens Will Get Federal Student Loans, Federal Work Study Programs, and Other Forms of Federal Financial Aid
Section 10 of the DREAM Act allows illegal aliens amnestied under the bill’s provisions to qualify for federal student assistance under Title IV of the Higher Education Act of 1965 (20 U.S.C. 1001 et seq.) in the form of federal student loans (Stafford Loans, Perkins Loans, Federal Direct Stafford/Ford Loans), federal work-study programs, and other federal education services such as tutoring and counseling.
10. DHS Is Prohibited From Using the Information Provided By Illegal Aliens Whose DREAM Act Amnesty Applications Are Denied To Initiate Their Removal Proceedings or Investigate or Prosecute Fraud in the Application Process
When an illegal alien’s DREAM Act amnesty application is denied, the bill states that the alien will revert to their “previous immigration status,” which is likely illegal or deportable. The bill, however, prohibits using any of the information contained in the amnesty application (name, address, length of illegal presence that the alien admits to, etc) to initiate a removal proceeding or investigate or prosecute fraud in the application process. Thus, it will be extremely hard for DHS to remove aliens who they now know are illegally present in the U.S., because illegal aliens will be able to claim that the legal action is a product of the amnesty application, and DHS will have the nearly impossible task of proving a negative.

Does crime pay on Capitol Hill?
By Oscar Y. Harward
If a Representative in the US House fails to list and pay taxes for 17 years, should he/she be prosecuted and jailed? Would it make any difference if he/she was the former “tax-writing” Chairman of Ways and Means Committee?
If a Representative in the US House used government offices, government employees, and government stationary in failing to report $600,000 in annual income for an effort of 5 years to raise a total of $30 million for his/her own personal organization, should he/she be prosecuted and jailed?
If a Representative in the US House fails to list hundreds of thousands of dollars in assets, should he/she be prosecuted and jailed?
If a Representative in the US House violated his/her lease by converting a residential unit into a campaign office, when others had been evicted for similar offenses, should he/she be prosecuted and jailed?
This may be a short summary of 13 charges brought against Rep. Charles Rangel (D-NY) by the US House Ethics Committee. Rep. Rangel was convicted of 11 of the 13 charges.
The US House Ethics Committee, on a 9 to 1 vote, is recommending “censure”? Why not expulsion? In despite of Rangel’s 20 term history, the penalty must be an example of following the law.
If a banker has been working with a financial firm for 40 years of financial success and then it was found that the banker had stolen and/or misappropriated $1 million, should he/she be “censured” or should he/she fired and prosecuted? In any business, the common-sense answer would be fired and prosecuted.
The House Ethics Committee says that Congressman Rangel is guilty. Of these 11 of 13 convicted issues that were addressed, how much of taxpayers’ money is adequate for expulsion?
Is a majority on Capitol Hill so corrupt as to bequeath Congressman Rangel a “pass” with a “censure” rather than “expulsion”? Congressman Rangel says he is not a crook. The hard evidence will dispute that.
Where is any moral or legal responsibility for any member of the US House Ethics Committee to vote for “censure” rather than “expulsion”? Where is any moral or legal reasoning and responsibility for any member of the US House vote for “censure” rather than “expulsion”?
How can members of Congress on Capitol Hill expect to ever achieve the trust from Americans? Should it be a “trust” for members of Congress to receive nobility from Americans serving in “public service”? Members of Congress must prove that “Crime does not pay on Capitol Hill”.

President Obama, you are not a Ronald Reagan
By Oscar Y. Harward
There is much disbelief in every word coming from the lips of President Obama. Prior to the 2008 Presidential Election, Obama had many questionable friends and associates who had unsavory backgrounds. While serving in the Illinois State Senate, Sen. Obama promoted left-wing legislation and revolutionary liberal public funding. During Obama’s term in the US Senate, Obama continued with, questionably, the most “radically liberal” legislation of the time. During his tenure as a candidate for President, Obama repeated his “radically liberal” message.
An overwhelming majority of main-stream Media members are so supportive of left-wing politics. The majority liberal main-stream Medias continued, and even today, continues to give Obama “passes” on the issues. Liberal main-stream Medias elect to deny the facts, fail and report the news by ignoring his words and/or activities, or spinning unwise words into a positive story.
Now, President Obama is pushing the US Senate for a positive vote on ratification of a new nuclear-arms treaty agreement with Russia. Obama refers to the new treaty as a "national security imperative".
Obama says it is not about politics. It is all about national security. President Obama, oh yes it is. It is all about our national security, Europe’s continued freedoms, and protecting the “free world” from Russia’s missiles and their aggressive Communist Party politics.
President G.W. Bush had planned to install an anti-missile ground-based system in the State of “free and independent” Georgia, Europe. After the 2008 General Election of President Obama, Russia invaded Georgia and seized control of Georgia. Without any dispute of Russia invading Georgia from President Obama, that prevented the United States from installing an anti-missile system in Georgia.
Under Obama’s new nuclear-arms treaty agreement, the Russian asked for and President Obama guaranteed that the United States will not set up an anti-missile ground-based system in the State of Poland and/or the Czech Republic in Europe. This anti-missile system would protect European allies. Obama claims that a mobile system is just as effective and less expensive.
The major problem in is that President Obama has, on numerous occasions, proven that the words from his lips may be “untruthful words”. Obama’s expressions of today are opposite of his words of yesterday. Obama’s speech of today are probably opposite of his words of tomorrow. President Obama is attempting to present his new nuclear-arms treaty agreement with Russia comparable to the late President Ronald Reagan’s Strategic Arms Reduction Talks (START). Any ratification of Obama’s new nuclear-arms treaty agreement with Russia supported on Obama’s explanations is problematic.
It appears President Obama may be preparing a puzzle, one piece at a time, not to build upon our prosperous nation, but to wreck or transfer America’s Constitutional freedoms and our treasured Judeo-Christian values.
President Reagan’s agreement eventually brought down the “Iron-Wall”, or as it was recognized as the Communist Party’s Soviet Union bloc. In doing so, the Berlin wall fell and unified Berlin, Germany. Who can compare Obama’s success(es) around the world to the multiple successes of Ronald Reagan http://www.reaganfoundation.org/default.aspx?

Will Obama and Capitol Hill Democrats deny Americans a restoring economy
By Oscar Y. Harward
In November 2008, Americans voters were searching for a healthier solution to restore a sluggish American economy. The voters’ proposal was to grant Barack Obama and the Democrat Party on Capitol Hill opportunities to show their plans. Almost immediately, the American electorate saw that the Democrat Party’s Obama/Reid/Pelosi team was a mistake as their solution was to spend more of taxpayers’ money to bail out our industries and our government. Americans screamed “NO” to more spending but the Democrat Party’s Obama/Reid/Pelosi team ignored the calls. Americans realize that when you are deep in debt, you have to “stop the spending” in personal budgets and in government budgets.
During the past two years, the White House and Capitol Hill Democrat Party team of Obama/Reid/Pelosi have raped American taxpayers by proposing and passing legislation which was intensely opposed by the American public. On occasions, many elected Democrat Party members on Capitol Hill admitted that they voted for legislation even though they had not even read the bills.
In the last two years, the Obama/Reid/Pelosi team attempted to swing members of the GOP to cross the aisle in support of the most radical and liberal giveaway legislation ever proposed on Capitol Hill. Most Republicans held their position in refusing to cross over and support radical, left-wing proposed legislation, just to vote yes.
On November 2, 2010, American voters responded to the radical, left-wing legislation saying, “Stop the spending”. American voters were surprised and outraged but awakened as members of the Democrat Party continued to ignore the call. Now, the American electorate is calling upon the Republican Party to right the wrong. In the meantime, the Obama/Reid/Pelosi team has spent more deficit spending than all other Congress’s combined between our first President George Washington and continuing through President Ronald Reagan’s administration. With more damage in doing so, the Obama/Reid/Pelosi team promised to create jobs restoring an expanding economy. Sadly, the Obama/Reid/Pelosi Democrat Party team left America in financial distress with few or no additional jobs.
Even now, Democrat Party’s Obama/Reid/Pelosi team has allocated $800 million to Wisconsin, $400 million to Ohio, and $2 billion to Florida, all for high-speed rail. Within the last few days, each of these new GOP Governors-elect Scott Walker (R-WI), John Kasich (R-OH), and Rick Scott (R-FL) have all said “NO” to this spending. These three governors want this $3.2 billion of allocated funding returned to the taxpayers.
When will they ever learn to listen? On November 16, Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood indicated that the $1.2 billion may be transferred to Charlotte, NC for a high-speed rail. Today, taxpayers are funding each passenger $32.00 per ride. Why should American taxpayers be forced to pay even more?
To make corrections in saving our nation, members of the Republican Party must stand firm on continuing to reduce taxes on all, and that includes what Democrats call the wealthy. Democrats must learn to understand that it is those with resources (money) in our society who create jobs. When was the last time you met an indigent individual who created jobs?
Members of the Democrat Party must also understand that it is the Labor Unions that are destroying businesses by demanding more salaries and benefits than industries can afford to provide and compete in the world economy.
Jobs, jobs, and more jobs are the primary issues to restore Americans in putting people back to work. The GOP must and will stand firm in accomplishing these goals without softening and/or compromising principles to, again, slow down our economy. Republicans must refuse to cut all deals that may injure the goals in restoring our American fiscal and/or social freedoms.
Under the majority GOP leadership in the US House of Representatives, expect the radical left-wing minority Democrat Party to continue with attempts to create anxiety on all proposed conservative issues. By standing firm, GOP leadership can return America back to a prosperous economy.
Along the way, President Obama’s veto and Senate Democrats’ blockage will serve in delaying the restoration of our economy.
America still has the best technology and greatest workers in the entire world. Labor Unions must learn to work with industries allowing businesses a fair shake for profits in the marketplace.
In November 2008, Americans voters were searching for a healthier solution to restore a sluggish American economy. The voters’ proposal was to grant Barack Obama and the Democrat Party on Capitol Hill opportunities to show their plans. Almost immediately, the American electorate saw that the Democrat Party’s Obama/Reid/Pelosi team was a mistake as their solution was to spend more of taxpayers’ money to bail out our industries and our government. Americans screamed “NO” to more spending but the Democrat Party’s Obama/Reid/Pelosi team ignored the calls. Americans realize that when you are deep in debt, you have to “stop the spending” in personal budgets and in government budgets.
During the past two years, the White House and Capitol Hill Democrat Party team of Obama/Reid/Pelosi have raped American taxpayers by proposing and passing legislation which was intensely opposed by the American public. On occasions, many elected Democrat Party members on Capitol Hill admitted that they voted for legislation even though they had not even read the bills.
In the last two years, the Obama/Reid/Pelosi team attempted to swing members of the GOP to cross the aisle in support of the most radical and liberal giveaway legislation ever proposed on Capitol Hill. Most Republicans held their position in refusing to cross over and support radical, left-wing proposed legislation, just to vote yes.
On November 2, 2010, American voters responded to the radical, left-wing legislation saying, “Stop the spending”. American voters were surprised and outraged but awakened as members of the Democrat Party continued to ignore the call. Now, the American electorate is calling upon the Republican Party to right the wrong. In the meantime, the Obama/Reid/Pelosi team has spent more deficit spending than all other Congress’s combined between our first President George Washington and continuing through President Ronald Reagan’s administration. With more damage in doing so, the Obama/Reid/Pelosi team promised to create jobs restoring an expanding economy. Sadly, the Obama/Reid/Pelosi Democrat Party team left America in financial distress with few or no additional jobs.
Even now, Democrat Party’s Obama/Reid/Pelosi team has allocated $800 million to Wisconsin, $400 million to Ohio, and $2 billion to Florida, all for high-speed rail. Within the last few days, each of these new GOP Governors-elect Scott Walker (R-WI), John Kasich (R-OH), and Rick Scott (R-FL) have all said “NO” to this spending. These three governors want this $3.2 billion of allocated funding returned to the taxpayers.
When will they ever learn to listen? On November 16, Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood indicated that the $1.2 billion may be transferred to Charlotte, NC for a high-speed rail. Today, taxpayers are funding each passenger $32.00 per ride. Why should American taxpayers be forced to pay even more?
To make corrections in saving our nation, members of the Republican Party must stand firm on continuing to reduce taxes on all, and that includes what Democrats call the wealthy. Democrats must learn to understand that it is those with resources (money) in our society who create jobs. When was the last time you met an indigent individual who created jobs?
Members of the Democrat Party must also understand that it is the Labor Unions that are destroying businesses by demanding more salaries and benefits than industries can afford to provide and compete in the world economy.
Jobs, jobs, and more jobs are the primary issues to restore Americans in putting people back to work. The GOP must and will stand firm in accomplishing these goals without softening and/or compromising principles to, again, slow down our economy. Republicans must refuse to cut all deals that may injure the goals in restoring our American fiscal and/or social freedoms.
Under the majority GOP leadership in the US House of Representatives, expect the radical left-wing minority Democrat Party to continue with attempts to create anxiety on all proposed conservative issues. By standing firm, GOP leadership can return America back to a prosperous economy.
Along the way, President Obama’s veto and Senate Democrats’ blockage will serve in delaying the restoration of our economy.

Kojo Nantambu raises a falsified and old ugly face
By Oscar Y. Harward
If you cannot debate the question with facts, you may circumvent the issue at hand. Kojo Nantambu, as President of Charlotte's NAACP, may have just become one of the best at evading a subject issue and distorting the topic into the minds of his following. In doing so, Nantambu is damaging the NAACP, Charlotte, and the entire community.
When Kojo Nantambu was recently elected as President of Charlotte's NAACP, some who knew Nantambu may have foreseen a potential stumbling block under his leadership.
Why is Charlotte's NAACP Kojo Nantambu unjustifiably attempting to stir up racism in a delightful community? For many years, Charlotte has been a “shining star” of equality in America. His first impression in a public hearing began with Nantambu arousing a crowd by enticing the crowd to start a chant, "No justice, no peace", stirring up the community in the closing of some local public schools.
Charlotte-Mecklenburg, like most other communities across America and the free world, are in a recession. Charlotte-Mecklenburg County Schools must cut out-of-control spending. Will the facts show that former Charlotte-Mecklenburg Schools under Democrat Party leadership spent excessive taxpayers’ money by overbuilding schools?
Doesn’t the NC General Statute require County Commissions to provide public schools’ any and all budget requested funds, negotiate and settle the differences between the two government agencies, or the County Commissioners are required to schedule a “bond issue” within some 60 days or so?
Everyone who knows former Mayor Pat McCrory at all knows Pat McCrory is not a “racist”. This must have become a shock for Pat McCrory to be called a “racist” by anyone. After serving 7 terms (14 years), there is not one blemish of evidence that Pat McCrory is a “bigoted” individual.
For Kojo Nantambu to call former Mayor Pat McCrory a “racist” may be only a remembrance of his own past views of many years. There are now few who may say the same for NAACP President Kojo Nantambu. The City of Charlotte, the NAACP, and the entire community may need to be reminded that Kojo Nantambu, himself, does have a criminal past that most hoped his profile should never be recalled.
Is the evidence Nantambu has revealed at the Board of Education meeting and now his erroneous statement regarding former Mayor Pat McCrory an indication of what Charlotte and the surrounding communities may see as expectations from Kojo Nantambu as President of Charlotte's NAACP in the future?
Charlotte and the surrounding communities have no desire or need for Kojo Nantambu to stir “racism” with or without any authentication. What group would have desires in coming to Charlotte for a convention when there is “racism” in town or the attendees may be witnessing violence as a result thereof? Other NAACP leaders may wish to consider new leadership.
Kojo Nantambu owes an apology to former Mayor Pat McCrory, the City of Charlotte, the NAACP membership, and the surrounding communities.

Obama/Reid/Pelosi’s “cram down our throats” so-called “Dream Act” legislation
By Oscar Y. Harward
President Obama, Speaker Nancy Pelosi, and Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, are continuing their dirty tricks during this year 2010 lame-duck session. When will President Obama and Capitol Hill Democrats decide to honor the wish of the majority?
Year 2010 “lame-duck” session begins on November 15. Capitol Hill Democrats are saying they will consider passing the so-called “Dream Act”. The Democrat Party so-called “Dream Act”, as identified as House Version H.R. 1751 and Senate Version S. 729, is proposed legislation which will provide amnesty to “illegal immigrants”.
Political polls show an overwhelming majority of Americans who oppose this legislation.
America is in a recession and many are unemployed. Numerous Americans are finding it difficult to find jobs, to pay monthly house or rent payments, to make car payments, other monthly payments, to keep food for their families on the table, and of course, to pay their over-burdened taxes and many other necessities.
Where are the minorities on this issue? Could it be considered “illegal immigrants” are taking the limited jobs away from the minority community? Are Capitol Hill Democrats turning their backs on the minorities or are they misleading the minority community?
The first criminal activity for illegal immigrants is to falsify and/or to purchase a counterfeit identification such as a Social Security Card, driver’s license, etc. These purchased and/or otherwise fictitious documents are stolen records, often on living American taxpayers. Illegal immigrants pilfer from the taxpayers as they collect healthcare, housing, food, education, and other benefits. Many illegal immigrants bring illegal drugs, crime, and other unwanted activity. A great number of arrested illegal immigrants are numerous repeat criminals. While a large majority of Americans oppose “illegal immigration”, a substantial majority of Americans welcome “legal immigration”.
Many members on Capitol Hill were defeated in the 2010 General Elections but these massive losses are not the end of the Democrat Party’s political world. With good solid leadership and common-sense ideas, Americans will buy-in on the ideas and the Democrat Party will return with victories. To again “cram down our throats” unwanted legislation will only solidify a majority of Republicans, Democrats, and Independents to defeat candidates of the Democrat Party in the future.
The so-called “Dream Act” to provide amnesty for illegal immigrants is more of a tragedy than a dream for Americans. Americans do not desire any additional criminal activity. Will Capitol Hill Democrats who vote to “cram down our throats” “illegal immigration” legislation also have a future in politics?

Stop earmarks now
By Oscar Y. Harward
Throughout Primary and General Election year 2010, many candidates for election and re-election heard one strong message, “Stop the spending”. Conservatives, primarily Republican Party candidates, responded declaring that if elected they would vow to stop the out-of-control spending and reduce the $13.7 billion national debt. The American electorate granted the GOP with near record number of victories in the US Senate, US Congress, Governorships, and state General Assemblies.
One of the shouts from the 2010 Election voters is to “stop the spending”, and “stop funding” of “earmarks”. “Earmarks” are mere instruments for elected members in government to award individuals, local organizations and/or other governments with taxpayers’ money in return for their support/votes for re-election(s). Frequently, in all major communities, we see and/or hear where some local private and/or public groups and/or organizations are receiving “grants” from government. These grants are taxpayers’ funds. It should not matter whether these grants are going to private or public, political, or agricultural, we must cut our government spending and “reduce” our national debt.
Another area of funding “earmarks” happens when the Pentagon is pressed to purchase unwanted and outdated military equipment at taxpayers’ expense. The effected Senator or Congressman knows that to cancel the jets, tanks, trucks, etc. may damage the economy in his/her state or congressional district. An “earmark” is placed to protect his or her political territory rather than making a professional decision to reduce wasteful spending and improve our US military.
Currently, our US Debt exceeds $13.6 trillion and growing larger. Now it appears even some of the older elected members of the GOP just do not get it. Stopping “earmarks” means to stop funding “earmarks” now. “Legislate” and eliminate the funding of all “Earmarks”.
What is happening to Republican Party Senate Minority Leader Senator Mitch McConnell (R-KY)? Senator McConnell now wants to continue the funding of “earmarks”. Had I not seen the words coming from Sen. McConnell’s own lips, I could have believed the words that could come from Democrat Party Speaker of the House, Nancy Pelosi.
Sen. James Inhofe (R-OK) says stopping the funding of “earmarks” would make no differences in the budget. Furthermore, Sen. Inhofe said to stop “earmarks” would turn the budgetary matters over to President Obama. Sen. Inhofe, what you said on this matter is pure “bull”. Senators, some of us may have fallen off of a truck, but we did not fall off a truck yesterday. Do not even try to misuse your words in any effort to confuse Americans’ minds on “earmarks”. Had I not seen the words coming from Sen. Inhofe’s own lips, I could have believed the words came from Democrat Party President, Barack Obama.
Senators Jim DeMint (R-SC), Tom Coburn (R-OK), Pat Toomey (R-PA), Marco Rubio (R-FL), Rand Paul (R-KY), Mike Lee (R-UT), Ron Johnson (R-WI), Kelly Ayotte (R-NH), John Ensign (R-NV), Mike Enzi (R-WY), John Cornyn (R-TX), Richard Burr (R-NC), Jeff Sessions (R-AL), Bob Corker (R-TN) and other members in the Senate are trying to control out-of-control spending just by starting to “stop the spending” by ending the funding of “earmarks”. We need more Senators to stop the “earmarks”.
Elected members in government offices must declare that to protect our great nation and our precious Constitution, all healthy individuals and all state, county, municipal governments must become more self-supporting rather than depending on government(s) for more support. Governments must fund and protect our US Military and our Constitutional freedoms, help the disabled, the sick, the elderly, and other “legal citizens” who have fallen through the cracks.
In 1994, the American electorate called on the GOP to curb spending, reduce taxes, create jobs, etc. A majority Republican Party in the US Senate and Congress was (re)elected. Some few years later, the GOP was back to excessive spending of the budget. Americans gave the majority members back to the Democrat Party. This 2010 Election year, the American electorate, again, responded to the cry of “stop the spending”. Will the GOP respond?
American voters have given the GOP an opportunity to prove that they can stop the spending, reduce taxes, create jobs, and restore Constitutional freedoms. There are many areas in the US Budget to cut the spending. The US Senate and Congress must reduce the national debt to save our nation for our children, their children, etc. To stop funding “earmarks” is a start of spending control.

President Obama, Islamic Muslims, and the UN Human Rights Council
By: Oscar Y. Harward
For some time, it has been a mystery as to why President Obama would appeal Arizona’s SB 1070 to the United Nations Human Rights Council. The State of Arizona and America are not governed under or by the United Nations. Arizona’s SB 1070 is a newly initiated law to stop or control “illegal immigration” entering Arizona from across the Mexican border and transporting excessive criminal activity into the State of Arizona. At the present time, some news reports say members of the Mexican “drug cartel” dominate and control some portions on southern Arizona. While Governor Jan Brewer and others have cried out for US Military help from President Obama, it appears President Obama supports the Mexican “drug cartel”.
Immediately after Arizona’s Gov. Jan Brewer signed SB 1070 into law, President Obama’s Attorney General Eric Holder filed a lawsuit to prevent implementation of the new law. US District Judge Susan Bolton combined all lawsuits filed against Arizona’s SB 1070. Judge Bolton issued a mixed ruling leaving both the State of Arizona and the Obama administration appealing the decision to the US 9th Court of Appeals in San Francisco, CA. Now, it is up to Circuit Court Judges John Noonan, appointed by President Ronald Reagan, Carlos Bea, appointed by President George W. Bush, and Richard Paez, appointed by President Bill Clinton to make a legal decision. Whatever their decision, the loser will most likely appeal to the SCOTUS.
At the same time of SB 1070 being decided in the Federal Courts, President Obama appealed Arizona’s SB 1070 to the United Nations Human Rights Council (UNHRC). President Obama is appealing an Arizona law to the UNHRC? When and on what “right” did President Obama determine that the United Nations would supersede Arizona’s SB 1070 law and the US Constitution?
The UN General Assembly elects forty seven (47) members to the United Nations Human Rights Council (UNHRC). Their members are http://www2.ohchr.org/english/bodies/hrcouncil/membership.htm:
African States (13): Angola (2013), Burkina Faso (2011), Cameroon (2012), Djibouti (2012), Gabon (2011), Ghana (2011), Libyan Arab Jamahiriya (2013), Mauritania (2013), Mauritius (2012), Nigeria (2012), Senegal (2012), Uganda (2013), Zambia (2011).

Eastern European States (6): Hungary (2012), Poland (2013), Republic of Moldova (2013), Russian Federation (2012), Slovakia (2011), Ukraine (2011).

Western European & Other States (7): Belgium (2012), France (2011), Norway (2012), Spain (2013), Switzerland (2013), United Kingdom (2011), United States (2012)
Shazam!!! Now I see! Obama’s political logic has arrived. Based on “human rights” reports, United Nations HRC is controlled by “Islamic Muslim nations” and other African states. Radical Islamic Muslim countries who practice “Sharia Law” may be ruling on America’s human rights, Arizona law, US Code, and Constitutional law? How about HRC members Cuba, Uganda, Pakistan, Russia, China, Mexico, etc. and their human rights? What American, as a defendant, would want these countries on a jury to decide America’s “Human Rights”, US Code, or perhaps, Constitutional law?
President Obama was totally aware of his injudicious activity in appealing Arizona’s SB 1070 to the United Nations Human Rights Council. Obama’s decision may have been based on the fact that the UNHRC is controlled by Islamic Muslin nations; many who hate America.
President Obama is attempting to allow the United Nations to overthrow Arizona law, US Code, and our Constitutional freedoms by authorizing the United Nations HRC to intimidate and supersede Constitutional sovereignty against law abiding American citizens.

President gives India 20% of our vote on the UN Security Council
By Oscar Y. Harward
Here we go again. There was little mention in the main-stream media as President Obama endorsed his support to offer India a permanent seat on the United Nations Security Council. Currently, five (5) nations make up the UN Security Council, either one of whom alone are allowed to veto any and all legislation. These five nations for individual veto powers are China, France, Russia, the United Kingdom, and the United States.
By adding India to the Security Council, this will give six (6) nations who may be allowed to veto any legislation. India is a great nation. What is significant with Obama’s proposal is the President is being so charitable to give away 20% of America’s voting rights. Adding India to the Security Council gives India an additional vote to veto American freedoms as we offer other nations of the world. What is the purpose for adding India to the Security Council? If you want an additional member of the Security Council, why not add America’s very best ally in the Middle East, Israel? Why should Obama not consider a trading ally in Germany, Japan, Canada, and/or many other allies? What has India offered America or the free world for the nation of India to deserve a seat on the UN Security Council?
President Obama says his visit is for trade and democracy. Well, well! Maybe, I am just confused. President Obama is proposing more economic trade with India. India is already one of the leading nations of the world in nuclear energy and the Internet assistance and their other supporting services. India is already a trading partner with America and practices a parliamentary system of government. Americans are in greater need of jobs and tax relief than offering more aid to other prosperous nations. With a crippling US economy, and adding aid to India, could be comparable to asking American taxpayers to bail-out California, the wealthiest state of the entire United States.
While I support an open and free world economy, it was my opinion that Obama and the Capitol Hill Democrats would consider Obama’s trade to India as an effort of exporting more American jobs. On this trip to India and Asia, Obama promises more American jobs. Mr. President, what, where, how, and when are these American jobs coming to America as you promise?
Obama’s trip to India and Asia was merely another far-away vacation with the family. With America in a deep recession or perhaps a depression, again President Obama is spending taxpayers’ money as a child would do likewise in a candy store. This useless expenditure of taxpayers’ money is costing America $1 billion, and it appears Obama does not even care. Am I missing something? Where am I wrong? It is my belief this speech is an effort by President Obama to substantiate a $1billion vacation at taxpayers’ expense while America is in recession, or perhaps, a depression. Obama still does not get it.
President Obama is illustrating that his education and short political experience does not show any specialized abilities for him to serve as a responsible Commander-in-Chief. Where are the leading Democrats on this issue? Do they care?
Again, am I missing something? It is my belief that this speech in New Delhi, India is an effort by President Obama to substantiate a $1billion vacation at taxpayers’ expense while our American economy is in recession, or perhaps, a depression. Obama just still does not get it.
Wake up Obama. America is awake and Americans are not stupid. Do not try to cover your misuses for other personal intentions. Do not give any American freedoms to India or to any other nations. Extended freedoms are to be shared with our closest fiscal, social, and military allies.
Here we go again. There was little mention in the main-stream media as President Obama endorsed his support to offer India a permanent seat on the United Nations Security Council. Currently, five (5) nations make up the UN Security Council, either one of whom alone are allowed to veto any and all legislation. These five nations for individual veto powers are China, France, Russia, the United Kingdom, and the United States.

Constitutional freedoms, fiscal and social value responsibilities are winners in 2010
By Oscar Y. Harward
As members of the Republican Party enjoy the victories of the 2010 Elections, there may be a storm that may be arising from the more moderate wing of the GOP.
2010 Elections’ results within the overall national electorate provided Americans with a choice of supporting conservative Republicans of the Taxed Enough Already (TEA) Party over the liberal Democrats Never Under Taxed (NUT) Party.
The TEA Party members and supporters are ordinary middle class Americans who feel that they are overtaxed and continue to watch unwanted and unneeded legislation that is ‘crammed down our throats’. The TEA Party supporters and a majority of Americans are seeking more Constitutional freedoms and Judeo-Christian values. The Democrats continue to discredit the TEA (Taxed Enough Already) Party on the issues. On these issues, the American electorate made their choices on November 2 and the more conservative TEA Party candidates won.
With all the elections results that are in, candidates endorsed by Sarah Palin won 62 and lost by 23. That represents a 73% win for TEA Party candidate supporters.
The Republican Party picked up some 680 seats in state legislatures with at least 19 states in total GOP legislative control. Republicans now control 55 State Houses and/or State Senates, compared to 38 for the Democrats. This represents the most total victories in state legislatures since 1928 and with total control of legislatures since 1966. Republicans won 29 governorships with a net gain of 3. 2010 is the year for 44 state legislatures to redistrict their own US Congressional Districts and all 50 state legislative districts.
Some more moderate members of the Republican Party are bickering and appear to have their minds “politically warped” with more conservatives elected on November 2. Sen. Lindsey “Flimsy” Graham (R-SC) and former Sen. Trent Lott (R-MS) seem to be opposed to TEA Party supporters although a majority of Republicans support the principals and values of the TEA Party.
It was “Flimsy” Graham who said he was going to “transform” the GOP. Remember, it was candidate Obama who said he was going to “transform” the United States. Several more moderate Republican Party Senators on Capitol Hill and the National Republican Senatorial Committee (NRSC) endorsed more moderate candidates in the GOP primaries like Florida’s Charlie Crist against Marco Rubio (R-FL), Trey Grayson against Rand Paul (R-KY), Mike Castle against Christine O'Donnell (R-DE) and other NRSC opposing candidates. Mike Castle represented arguably the most liberal Republican on Capitol Hill. “NRSC” leaders, as an extension of the Republican National Committee (RNC), should refrain from endorsing any candidates in GOP primaries unless there is justification for criminal and/or moral issues at hand. RNC Chairman Michael Steel should have made sure of refraining from all NRSC leader endorsements. If you wish to endorse candidates, resign from the NRSC leadership position(s).
The GOP US Senate leadership on Capitol Hill was faulty in allowing Sen. Lisa Murkowski (R-AK) to serve as a leader in the US Senate after denying the results of her loss in a legal GOP Primary Election and then announcing herself as a write-in candidate in the General Election.
Additionally, who is to decide whether any candidate for elected office is qualified, so long as they qualify as required by the US Constitution, whether it is former G.W. Bush, his Chief of Staff Karl Rove, or anyone else? Any of us may prefer additional experience or anything else, but no one should disqualify anyone who qualifies within our Constitution.
Sen. Jim DeMint (R-SC) endorsed Sens.- elect Rand Paul (R-KY), Marco Rubio (R-FL), Ron Johnson (R-WI) and other candidates who have a desire to restore responsibility in stopping out-of-control wasteful spending. We must reduce the existing $13.7 billion national debt http://www.usdebtclock.org/. We must restore our social issues in legislation on Capitol Hill.
Americans have now granted the Republican Party all across America opportunities to restore our Constitutional freedoms, and our fiscal and social values. We must stop the out-of-control spending, reduce our national debt, and restore Judeo-Christian values into our livelihood.
